Mr. Roy, the principal of one reputed school organized a seminar in which he invited
parents and principals to discuss the serious issue of diabetes and depression in
students. They all resolved this issue by strictly banning the junk food in schools and
to introduce healthy snacks and drinks like soup, lassi, milk etc. in school canteens.
They also decided to make compulsory half an hour physical activities for the students
in the morning assembly daily. After six months, Mr. Roy conducted the health survey
in most of the schools and discovered a tremendous improvement in the health of
students.
